The E-3 Sentry is an American airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft developed by Boeing. E-3s are commonly known as AWACS (Airborne Warning and Control System). Derived from the Boeing 707 airliner, it provides all-weather surveillance, command, control, and communications. The E-3 is distinguished by the distinctive rotating radar dome (rotodome) above the fuselage (Picture source: RAF)
